I guess what I'm confused about is why Ethan Dobb (and Tyler Mills for that matter) an IG character, would friend someone exists in real life i.e. a cast member. And then removes Azure Wolf and TheIllustratedMan from his friend list. Is this typical or is this just bad PM form? (This is why I don't use social networking. I can't even get friended by fictional characters!)

OK, so hopefully we can find Zach's whereabouts so we can let the german lady know where he's at. I'm with Sassy though, I don't mind looking for this guy either! Y-U-M. If anyone gets enough points to win a pass to the VIP launch party, you should totally take me. Very Happy


Technically the game hasn't even launched yet, so they are "allowed" a few slip ups here and there. Personally I think what happened is someone got a little overzealous with the FB accounts and started friending people before they were ready for that. (Which explains the friending of cast members, to test things out.) Anyway, at this point they get the benefit of the doubt.

 		Er, question. I subscribed to Tyler's youtube account, and the pop-up for 'related subscriptions' or whatever popped up, and one of them, named PicaroAsombro already has a bunch of fellow Needlers subscribed. Did i just stumble onto a different ARG?

 		One thing I'd like to point out is that this is still PRE-game. I don't know who these folks are, or how strong their ARG background is. They seem to have a fairly decent handle on it, and so far the "asthetics" are quite enjoyable. I think it was a great move to follow the "pre-game" route so many ARGs do to work out the bugs before launch.

That having been said, I think we might be prudent in remembering the incredibly talented ARG machine at work here--you all. Some of these things may be "loose ends" that the PMs didn't count on us finding and/or connecting yet. The photo of Brad for example....it may be entirely possible he will eventually be IG, but they haven't cleaned up his RL trail yet...as he might be a character farther down the road. It is also possible that the Facebook for Ethan had to be scrapped or redone because of that picture--accidentally bringing a unsuspecting outsider into the game by simple virtue of being a pal of the guy starring in the show. The PMs are probably DELIGHTED that the "flaws" are being discovered now, as opposed to after launch. You couldn't ask for a better beta testing squad!!!

Keep up the good work, and remember that NOTHING can be eliminated at this point!

Wow. That's an oddity. Making my mind swirl, but good catch.

 		Looked it up, looks like he's related to Apathoria somehow...

...or I've stumbled into a rabbithole into some monstrous mutant mega-ARG.

 		It's the aporia agathon project. Which coincidentally is where deleted is taking it's user base from, they took friends of them (AAP) and sent invites on youtube.

That ARG has cooled off quite a bit (the pregame stuff), but it looks to be shaping up to be as good or better than deleted, if you guys haven't checked it out, you should, I have another wiki for it (of course Rolling Eyes ) http://aap.wikidot.com

Also they launch at very similar times, the PM's of aporia have said they will be launching "sometime between now and august"

Thanks for this! I just got confused. Embarassed I thought that the game was ON...but the TV show portion that goes along with the game would be launching in August. It makes a lot more sense that there's a lot of beta testing going on...with all the IG, OOG characters...
Sorry. My bad for jumping the gun.
I get a big kick out of thinking these people are sitting back saying to themselves...oh my god, these people are rabid. How they hell can they be friending my characters within 20 seconds of me posting the profile? LOL.

Has anyone tried friending this guy? Why would they use his real name?

Yes, I sent a friend request stating I was a pal of Ethan's. Maybe that's why his pic got pulled????

No reply or acceptance as of yet....however I see SEVERAL familiar mugs on Ethan's profile....hehehe.

Very Happy
